I am a poor mans Forest Gump! The original Soonerman KRXO, Mayor who loves God, family, friends and classic rock. Thunder Up, Boomer Sooner and Let's go Creek!
Here is the OKC United logo — the OKC soccer club that Russell Westbrook and Jalen Williams recently invested in. It will compete in the USL Championship beginning in 2028
Nine years ago today the Thunder made a trade that would alter their whole franchise. But not in the way we thought it would. A trade that led to another trade two years later.
The new Census data for Oklahoma City has been released, and our city population is now officially 719,849. We are the 21st-largest city in the United States.
Also of note, our OKC metropolitan statistical area (MSA), which includes our neighboring suburban cities, has surpassed 1.5 million people for the first time in our history, with an official total of 1,512,813.
Back to the topic of our city population of 719,849: To reach this new total, Oklahoma City added 6,104 residents from 2024 to 2025. This makes us one of the fastest-growing cities among the top 50. Among the top 50 U.S. cities, here are the 12 cities that added the most people from 2024 to 2025. OKC is 12th in growth among the top 50 cities, and if you don’t see a city listed here, you know that they added fewer new residents than Oklahoma City (or in many cases, actually lost residents).
Charlotte - added 20,731 residents
Fort Worth - added 19,512
San Antonio - added 14,359
Seattle - added 11,572
Houston - added 11,515
Nashville - added 9,244
Atlanta - added 8,350
Jacksonville - added 8,319
Columbus - added 7,696
Raleigh - added 7,289
Miami - added 6,393
Oklahoma City - added 6,104
Growth presents challenges, and we’ll be talking in the next year about how we meet the transportation challenges of growth. But growth is also validation that we are continuing to build a city where people want to live. And if you were here already, you’re among the lucky ones.
Highly suggest taking a minute to read this post from the Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum about the connection between OKC & NYC. It’s bigger than basketball.
“Today we celebrate the resilience of two cities torn apart by terrorism and how sports and honoring the memory of those who were killed, those who survived and those changed forever will always unite our cities.”
Most free throws in the playoffs @statmuse

Cavs - 501
Knicks - 425
Pistons - 354
Thunder - 337
The FT discourse is stupid, the spurs were favored the entire time.
Just imagine…
The Thunder are getting blown out in Game 5 of a 2-2 series, and Shai, (who in the previous series threw a vicious elbow and didn’t even get fined for it), whispers something to Dort and JWill, and they proceed to check in and throw two cheap shots on a key player in garbage time.
Now imagine Shai skipping media availability after the biggest loss of the season.
What would the discourse be?
There’s a double standard with Wemby!
